Delta NDC Campaign Group Demands Food Bank Transparency

The Chris Iyovwaye Governorship Campaign Organisation of the Nigeria Democratic Congress in Delta State has called for increased transparency in the state's food bank programme. Dr Alfred Mulade, the organisation's Director-General, stated that the public deserves clear information regarding the programme's funding, beneficiary selection process, and distribution records.

A report indicated that the third edition of the programme occurred in Asaba on October 14, 2026, benefiting 2,500 women from the state's 25 local government areas. Each beneficiary received ₦50,000, totaling ₦125 million in cash support, while the food items distributed were valued at over ₦100 million.

Mulade urged for clarity on the programme's funding sources and selection criteria, emphasizing the need for transparency to build public confidence in social interventions. He also questioned the long-term impact of the initiative, advocating for sustainable measures to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty.
